Why Is Team India Carrying Fake T20 World Cup Trophy to India Despite Winning WC? Here’s the Reason

As they contemplate their historic T20 World Cup victory, Indian cricket supporters are ecstatic. After more than ten years of waiting, a world title has returned, making this a historic moment. Team India has finally returned home after being left behind in Barbados by Hurricane Beryl. They touched down in New Delhi, India, to start their celebrations. The entire 15-person team was supposed to meet with India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. When the team's flight lands in Wankhede, there will be a wild celebration because the team brought the cutlery.

Why did Team India bring back a fake T20 World Cup title from Barbados?  

The rumblings of the silverware being fake are true, and it is a practice which has been going on for ages. The winning team receives a real trophy for the picture shoot following the final game, but they receive a replica World Cup trophy to take it back to their country. Additionally, the replica silverware resembles the actual World Cup trophy quite a bit. The replica is customized with the year's event logo, which is unique to that tournament.

The question now is: Where is the genuine trophy when Team India arrived in India with a fake trophy? To put an end to your curiosity, the original trophy is only presented for the picture session before being flown back to the ICC headquarters in Dubai.
